Quilting on Silk (Detail)

Edward Jewett

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a yellow textile pattern. The illustration shows a rectangular section of fabric with a quilted texture in the upper area forming a diamond pattern, and the lower area features embroidery with intricate floral and swirled designs. The design showcases elaborate craftsmanship and the borders are scalloped. The use of a single yellow color creates a harmonious aesthetic.
